Abstract: |
The Environment Agency Minimum Technical Requirements document 801_14 SD01 Cultural
Heritage and Archaeology Standards, requires a high-level cultural heritage survey to be
undertaken in order to understand these potential impacts.
Kirkby Great and Little Ings Washland Reservoir is an off-line flood attenuation reservoir
constructed alongside the right bank (relative to view downstream) of the River Wharfe between Kirkby Wharfe and Ulleskelf, 3km south-east of Tadcaster (centred SE 51910 40072). The study area covered 1km from the Bowlam Bank and Ullesklef flood barrier Sites
Following the Minimum Technical Requirements, the purpose of this assessment is to:
● Undertake a search of the Historic England (HE) National Heritage List for England (NHLE)
database and UNESCO database, for designated heritage assets (Scheduled Monuments,
Listed Buildings, Conservation areas, World Heritage Sites and Registered Parks and
Gardens) within 1km of the Sites;
● Examine local, regional and national planning policies in relation to the historic environment;
● Assess relevant published and unpublished archaeological sources including the
Archaeological Data Service (ADS), maintained online by the University of York; and
● Produce a high-level heritage survey assessment report considering the potential impact of
the proposed works on the historic environment.
The following data sources were utilised for this assessment:
● Relevant national and local planning policy documents;
● Historic England National Heritage List for England;
● Historic England Heritage at Risk Register;
● Historic England National Monument Record;
● Historic England Register of Historic Parks and Gardens and Register of Battlefields;
● Historic England Listed Buildings;
● Selby District Council Conservation Area statements;
● An Archaeological Research Framework for North Yorkshire; and
● The First Edition Ordnance Survey Map.
Historic Environment Record (HER) information was not requested for this report due to the
relatively minor works proposed and the extent of earthworks that may have impacted on
buried archaeological remains. There are no designated heritage assets within the site boundaries. Within 1km of the red sites
there are six designated heritage assets which are all Grade II Listed Buildings.
Historic maps indicate the wider area has remained relatively unchanged and part of natural
floodplains dominated by areas of water meadows since at least 1846. No non-designated
heritage assets were visible during the walkover survey and following negative archaeological
interventions the potential for previously unrecorded archaeological remains is low.
Furthermore, due to the nature of the proposed works to both Bowlam Bank and Ulleskelf flood
barrier there is considerable reduced likelihood of previously unrecorded archaeological remains
to be affected by the proposed works.
The impact on the setting of the designated heritage assets is negligible as the proposed works
would not alter the context of the rural landscape. The settings are largely internal to the village
of Ulleskelf.
It is recommended that consultation takes place with the principal archaeologist for Selby
District Council at an early stage to discuss exactly what further work may or may not be
required and how a proportionate feasible strategy can be implemented prior to the proposed
works. If ground works are required beyond the extents of the current impoundment structures
these should be archaeologically evaluated to ascertain whether deposits are present here. |
